I stayed here during the last week of June. I think I stayed here 10 years ago and everything looks just the same. The nicest people at this hotel are, by far, the valet guys. It was SO hot out and they were friendly. Got back late one night to a full lot and the guy parked my car so I would not have to go back to creepy self-park all alone. So thanks valet dude. Check in didnt take long, dude was ok. It took forever to get our bags though. The casino reeks of smoke. Pee-youuuu.
My room was on floor 7, tower one. One good thing is that it does not take 30 min to get to your room, like at MGM. The room though...yuck. It's just old. I felt like i was time warped to the 70's. The beds.... Not good. One week later and my back and neck still hurt from the beds/pillows. Fixtures and lamps and stuff were dirty. Bathroom was small, it was clean enough. Towels were very thin and stained. Maids we saw in the hallway were super nice and gave us what we needed.
Excalibur hotel has a good food court. You also get a nifty little coupon book. Would I stay here again? Only if I absolutely have to. My advice is spend the extra few bucks and get a nicer room at a newer hotel.
Enjoy Vegas, baby!
